Mexican food is one of my favorites. I love the spice it can bring. I'm also a sucker for cheese and carbs, so I sometimes struggle to make healthier choices when it comes to Mexican food. That's not say Mexican food is automatically unhealthy; it can just be harder to make good choices when cheese and tortilla chips hold the keys to your heart.

I was craving something with a kick, but I wanted to try to combat my unhealthy ways with Mexican food. When I make fajitas or tacos, I love throwing in zucchini, bell pepper, and onion. However, my boyfriend HATES onions, so the onions were out. But I decided that I could turn the remaining two into a base for my dish.

I like to use ground turkey when I make tacos. Unfortunately for me, Whole Foods was behind schedule the day that I went, and there was an hour wait for ground turkey. I decided to try ground chicken, and it ended up turning out great.

Top it all off with some fresh avocado, cheese, and salsa, and we have ourselves a meal!

1) Heat up a pan, add cooking spray, and toss in the ground chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, mixing around regularly. This will take about 10 minutes total.2) Simultaneously, heat up a second, much larger pan. Add in the olive oil and garlic and let cook for about a minute.3) Add in the spiralized zucchini and bell peppers along with the mushrooms to the second pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, mixing regularly.4) Add sriracha and cilantro to the meat, and continue mixing for about a minute. Remove from heat.5) Add 2 tbsp of salsa, Mexican seasoning, ancho chili powder, and sea salt to the vegetable mixture. Mix and let cook for about a minute.6) Add 1/4 cup of cheese to the vegetable and mix for an additional minute. Remove from heat.7) Dish out the vegetable mixture into 3 bowls, and top each with ground chicken.8) Add 1/3 of the avocado slices, 1 tbsp of salsa, and 1 tsp of additional cheese to each bowl.9) Enjoy!
